A dead snake eigbt feet in length is
lying on the beach about 100 yards east
of the little bridge serosa China creek,
near the foot of Washington street. It
was found dead yesterday at the north t
end of a wood pile adjoining the city
pound, by some boys who were going to
the pigeon shoot on the beach. Where
it came from no one can Imagine, and
no one who bas seen it ever saw such a
monster in these parts before. The
scores of people who saw it during the
day called it all manner of names, as
bull snake, blow snake, cotton mouth,
and what not, but all were doubtful if
any snake of its sizs were indigenous to
Eaetern Oregon. Its coloring is very
much that of the rattlesnake, but the
spots on its body are Irregular in form
and are found on the belly as well as
the back. The reptile bas probably
died of hunger, as it appears to be very
emaciated.

caught In the flame of the lamp and the
smell of silk and burnt feathers soon
convinced the lady that there was a fire
in the bouse. But just where it was
she could not tell. Becoming alarmed
she searched every nook and corner of
the room, looked into the stove and ex
amined the stove pipe and flue; but in
vain. Tha smell grew stronger and
nastier as she searched every room and
closet in the house with the same re
sult; when, finally, as she bad half

the custom boose demands. A Yankee
once bad his carriage stopped at the
frontier of a petty prince's country. The
Herr . Ober, controlenr at the custom
bouse, came forward and, much to bis
indignation, was received in a noncha
lant way. The Yankee was ungentle
manly enough not to get out of his car
riage or even to take off his bat. The
Herr Ober sharply demanded the key of
the tourist's trunks, which bis subordi
nate began handling roughly. "Here,
hands off,' shouted the Yankee. "I
didn't come from the United States of
America to be controlled by you. Put
those trunks back. I'll not go through
you at all. I'll turn back. I'm in no
hurry and don't care for losing a day.
You're no country. You're only a spot.
I'll go round yon." And be did.

sus would show not more than 1000,
while the government ceusus gives the

The Endersby people didn't get their
Chronicle last Saturday and we have
just found out the reason. The Enders
by bundle was put in a mail sack that
bid come to the Chbonicle office with a
lot of tutnip seed from Representative
Moody, and was thus carried to the
postoffice. The sack carried a label with
Mr. Moody's name on it, and a postoffice
clerk supposing the sack was for Mr.
Moody let it tsko the usual course in
such cases, and the mistake was not
discovered till two or tbree days after
the bundle should baye reached Enders
ty. .
The storm of last Thorsday evidently
stirred things up a bit across the river,
says the Astorian, as it carried away
fifty feet of the Tokeland wharf, turned
over a car on the I. R. & N. wharf at
Nahcotta, and lifted the Methodist
church at Bay Center from its founda
tion. About a half mile of the N. P.
track was washed out between Willapa
and Giesz crossing. The storm of the
preceding Sunday bad destroyed about
eighty feet of the Tokeland wharf. The
smokestacks of the Siler mill at South
Bend were also blown down.

The Dalles postoffice since the retire
ment of Mr. Riddell have been exceed
ingly satisfactory to the patrons of the
office, and be carries with bim to his
new sphere of labor the earnest wishes
of all who knew him for his future wel
fare. It was necessary that Mr. Fisher

the senate, to fill the vacancy till Mr.
Patterson's own bonds are approved.
Mr. Patterson therefore took charge of
the office this morning.
From the Telegram we learn that
Drake C. O'Reilly bas been sued by the
Columbia Southern Railroad Company,
with which corporation he has been
having considerable trouble, for over
14,000, said to he due on au assessment
levied on the stock ami alleged to be
unpaid. Attachment proceedings have
been commenced also. The complaint
stated that the capital stock of the cor
poration consists of 3000, shares of tt.e
value of 103 each, an! that December
10th 1000 shares had been unpaid. It in
also stated that the defendant, D. C.
O'Reilly, owns 4.M shares, which ho bas
held and voted, and that on December
10th, at a regular meeting of the board
of directors of the Columbia Southern,
an assessment of 25 per cent was levied
upon each share of stock. The defend

Starting in some little paper in East

that state at the Cascades ia being asi
tated, and newspaper comment all over
the No-tbwesl on the question, bss he-
come general. In view of this desire on
the part of Eastern Oregon to break
away from the domination of Portland
it may be highly interesting at this time
to recall that about twenty-five years
ago ft alia ft alia, says the Statesman
was agitating the question of breaking
away from the domination of the Sound
country and attaching herself to Oreguu.
The files of the Statesman foi 18'
and 1870 are filled with opinions along
this tin). Many petitions were circu
lated in Wall Walla, Waltsburg, Day
ton and other portions of the Walla
Walla country for all that south of tbe
Snake was so called asking con ;r is to
annex this portion of Washington to
Oregon. Oo December 13, 1S75, Mr.
Kelly, member of congress from Oregon,
introduced a bill changing the bound
aiy lilies of Oregon so as to include all
that portion of Washington territorv
toum oi me anaite river, as soon as a
copy ol that bilj reached Walla Walla
numerous petitions were circulated and
generally signed, asking congress to pass
the Kelly bill. The county commission
ers ol ft alia ft alia countv forwarded a
petition, as did many of tbe Granges of
this section, for at that time the Grauges
were numerous and of considerable
strength. It seoined to be tbe genera
census of opinion that this change
would be beneficial to this section of tbe
country.

Bathrooms In dwelling-bouses are a
comparatively modern convenience,
but public bathing places are aa old
aa civilization. The Ureeka and Ro
mans spent large sums in fitting up
public batha, which were popular re
sorts for all classes, but a private bath
room in one a own house would have
been hard to find. Even to this day
the people of India consider bathing
in anything other than a river or small
er stream of running water to be n
disgraceful act. Pent water was con
sidered defiling to the body by the
ancients and tbe public bath of (ireece
and Home were ao constructed that
the outflow of water w-as equal to the
inflow ao aa to secure as nearly as pos
sible pure water for every bather, says
a Chicago exchange.
The bathroom, in hotels and dwell
ings passed rapidly from the realm
of luxury to that of neceasity; to-dny a
house without a bathtub is the excep
tion. But with the belief, or knowl
edge, rather, that cleanliness la next
to godliness came a sort of rivalry in
bathroom furnishings and sanitary en
gineering skill and Inventive genius
were called upon to do their best. A
few years ago a little room In an ob
scure corner with a zinc tub was some
thing to boast of, but in these days of
great individual wealth and palaces the
bathroom often involves a larire ex
penditure of money.
Many of the wealthy construct their
bathrooms on,-lines that are aa far

A WONDERFUL WATCH.
Oae ta Marylaad Kaona as a llallla,
Which Aroaaed MarkTwsl.'i
Adralratloa.
What is perhaps the most wonderful
watch in the world ia In the poaaea-
aion of a resident of Prince Gregory
county, Maryland, saye the Washington
Tlmea.
This remarkable timepiece, known a
the -Ma tile watch, from the name of lta
maker, was made at Looe, Switzerland,
about 40 years ago. It formed a feature
of the Swiss exhibit at the centennial
held at Philadelphia in 1870, and waa
purchased on that occasion by it
present owner. A description of the
watch by Mark Twain (S. L.Clemens)
is as remarkable for accuracy aa it ia
humorous. The well-known writer
thus gives his impressions of the mar
velous piece of mechanism:
'I have examined the wonderful
watch made by. If. L. Matile, and, in-
deed, It comes nearer to being a human
being than any piece of mechanism I
ever .aw before. In fact, it knowa
considerably more than the average
voter. It knows the movements of
the moon, and keeps exact record of
them; it tell, the day of the week, the
date of the month, and the month of
the year, and will do this perpetually;
It tell, the hour of the day, and the
minute, and the second, and even split
the second into fifths, and mark, the
division by stop hands, having two of
the latter; it can take accurate care
of two race horse, that atart, not to
gether, but one after another; it la
a repeater (wherein the voter la sug
ge.ted again), and musically chimea
he hour, tbe quarter, the half and the
three-quarter hour, and also the min
ute, that have passed of an uncom
pleted quarter-hour, so that a blind
man can tell tbe time of day by it to
the exact minute.
Such Is this extraordinary watch.
It ciphers to admiration. I ahould
think one could add another wheel and
make it read and write, atlll another
and make it talk; and I think one might
ake out several of the wheels thst
are already In it and it would still be a
more Intelligent citizen than some that
help to govern the countrv. On the
whole, I think ft is entitled to vote-
that is, if its sex is of the right kind."
The watch was sold for $1,400, and
It ia still performing its complex
functions with the greatest regularity.
